LINIMENT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 414,769, dated November 12, 1889. Application filed March 23, 1889. Serial No. 304,479. (No specimens.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, BENJAMIN C. Goons- NOUER, of Warsaw, in the county of Kosciusko and State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Liniments; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the I 'tur entine two uarts: Venice turaentine one quart; camphor gum, one-half pound; powdered cantharides, one-half pound; alum, one-half pound; walnut-oil, two ounces.

This liniment is to be applied externally, and it brings to'the surface all unnecessary secretions, thereby causing a permanent cure or relief. This liniment is to be used in the treatment of side bones, ring-bones, bonespavin, bo -spavin, thorough-pins, swiney, and soreness of the joints orother plates upon the body. This liniment, while it produces a blister, does not remove the hair or cause an unsightly sore. The turpentine and cantharides areir1'itants,while the alum and camphor gum preserve the surface of the skin, so as to prevent the hair from coming out. The Venice turpentine and Walnut-oil form a body and keep the strength of the medicine to the surface. The walnut-oil maybe dispensed with, if so desired.

1 Directions for use: Apply enough of the liniment to the injured place to moisten the tended to avoid the denudin'g of the parts,

which has usually followed the use of such mixtures.

Having thus described my invention, I claim A liniment composed of turpentine, Venice turpentine, camphor gum, cant-harides, and alum, in or about the proportions specified.

In testimony whereof Iaflix lnysignature in presence of two witnesses.
